Description

Pixel driving circuit and driving method thereof, display panel and display device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of display equipment, in particular to a pixel driving circuit, a driving method thereof, a display panel and a display device.
Background
With the wide development of display technology, Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) displays are increasingly used in various electronic devices. As the display size increases, the conventional Passive matrix organic electroluminescent display (Passive matrix oled) requires a shorter driving time of a single pixel, and thus requires an increase in transient current and an increase in power consumption. Meanwhile, the application of large current can cause overlarge voltage drop on the indium tin oxide metal oxide wire, and the working voltage of the OLED is overhigh, so that the service life of the OLED is shortened. The active matrix organic electroluminescent display (AMOLED) can well solve the problems by inputting OLED current by scanning the switching transistors line by line.
The AMOLED display includes an organic light emitting diode array (i.e., a pixel array) formed of a plurality of organic light emitting diodes and a pixel driving circuit array. The pixel driving circuit provides light emitting current for the organic light emitting diodes in the organic light emitting diode array to make the organic light emitting diodes emit light.
The light emission luminance of the organic light emitting diode is proportional to the magnitude of a light emission current flowing therethrough. The pixel driving circuit in the prior art includes a driving transistor. The light emission current generated by the pixel driving circuit in the prior art is closely related to the threshold voltage of the driving transistor. The threshold voltages of the respective driving transistors are not completely the same due to various reasons such as formation process, aging, and the like. Because the threshold voltages of the driving transistors are not completely the same, the driving currents flowing through the organic light emitting diodes in the AMOLED display are not completely the same, and the brightness uniformity of the organic light emitting display panel is poor when the organic light emitting display panel displays images.
In addition, in order to eliminate the influence caused by the difference between the threshold voltages of the driving transistors, the conventional AMOLED pixel driving circuit usually has a complicated structural design and occupies a large area, which is not favorable for increasing PPI (pixel density).

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a driving method of the pixel driving circuit in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a driving method of a pixel driving circuit, including: a reset phase S1, a threshold voltage compensation and charging phase S2 and a light-emitting phase S3;
a reset phase S1 in which a reset signal Vrset is input to the reset signal line and a reference voltage Vint input from the reference voltage line is transmitted to the intermediate node G;
a threshold voltage compensation and charging stage S2, wherein the sampling transistor T1 is controlled to be short-circuited as a diode, and the data signal voltage acquired when the sampling transistor T1 is short-circuited as a diode is transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T2 and is kept at the first end of the storage unit 3;
and a light emitting stage S3 for controlling the driving transistor T2 to receive the current supplied from the power line and to supply a driving current to the light emitting device D according to the data signal voltage held at the first terminal of the memory cell.
Fig. 3 is a timing diagram corresponding to the driving method of fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a current flow diagram of the pixel driving circuit in the reset phase; FIG. 5 is a current flow diagram of the pixel driving circuit during the threshold voltage compensation and charging phase; fig. 6 is a current flow diagram of the pixel driving circuit in the light emitting stage. The following is described in detail with reference to the timing diagram of fig. 3 and the pixel driving circuits shown in fig. 4 to 6:
referring to fig. 3 and 4, in the reset phase S1, the reset signal Vrset inputted from the reset signal line is at a low level, the reset transistor T3 is turned on, and the reference voltage Vint inputted from the reference voltage line is transferred to the intermediate node G.
The reset phase S1 enables initialization of the intermediate node G. Since the intermediate node G connects the gate of the sampling transistor T1, initialization of the gate of the sampling transistor T1 is achieved.
In the reset stage S1, the first switch circuit and the second switch circuit of the threshold voltage compensation and charging unit 1 are turned off. The first switching circuit is turned off, which prevents the sampling transistor T1 from being electrically conducted to the intermediate node G, resulting in uncertainty in the voltage of the intermediate node G. The second switch circuit is turned off to prevent the driving transistor T2 from being electrically conducted to the intermediate node G, which affects the light emission of the driving transistor T2, so that the driving transistor T2 can still maintain the light emission at the high level of the previous frame.
In this embodiment, the scan signal voltage Vscan inputted to the scan signal line is at a high level, so that the first switching transistor T4 and the second switching transistor T5 are both turned off.
Referring to fig. 3 and 5, in the threshold voltage compensation and charging stage S2, since the reference voltage Vint is low, the sampling transistor T1 is turned on, the voltage stabilizing capacitor C2 stabilizes the voltage of the gate of the sampling transistor T1, and the sampling transistor T1 is kept turned on; the scan signal voltage Vscan input to the scan signal line is at a low level, so that the first switching transistor T4 is turned on; the data signal line is turned on to the intermediate node G. Meanwhile, the second pole (i.e., drain) of the sampling transistor T1 is shorted to the gate, becoming a diode. The voltage of the data signal collected when the sampling transistor T1 is shorted as a diode is: vdata + Vth, the voltage of intermediate node G, is: vdata + Vth.
The scan signal voltage Vscan inputted to the scan signal line is at a low level, and the second switching transistor T5 is also turned on, so that the voltage Vdata + Vth of the intermediate node G can be transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T2 and charged in the first plate of the storage capacitor C1.
Since the pixel driving circuit to which one light emitting device D is electrically connected is located in a very small local area of the display panel, the sampling transistor T1 and the driving transistor T2 have substantially the same threshold voltage Vth, and thus it can be considered that the voltage Vdata + Vth of the intermediate node G has compensated for the drift of the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor T2.
In the threshold voltage compensation and charging stage S2, the reset signal Vrset input by the reset signal line is at a high level, and the reset transistor T3 is turned off, so that the voltage of the intermediate node G is not affected.
Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 6, in the light emitting phase, the voltage difference between the gate and the first electrode (i.e., the source) of the driving transistor T2 is less than the threshold voltage, the driving transistor T2 is turned on, and the on-current of the driving transistor T2 is:
Figure BDA0002630137990000091
wherein: mu is the carrier mobility, i.e. the average drift rate of the carriers in the semiconductor under a unit electric field; coxIs a capacitance constant, i.e., a channel capacitance per unit area of the driving transistor T2; vdd is a power supply voltage; w is the channel width of the driving transistor T2; l is the channel length of the driving transistor T2.
It can be seen that the current flowing through the light emitting device D is independent of the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor T2. The current flowing through each light emitting device D is independent of the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor T2, and the influence of the shift of the threshold voltage Vth on the light emitting device D can be avoided, so that the uniformity of the image brightness in the display area of the display panel and the display device can be improved.
In the light emitting stage, the scan signal voltage Vscan input to the scan signal line is at a high level, so that the first switching transistor T4 and the second switching transistor T5 are both turned off to avoid affecting the voltage of the gate of the driving transistor T2.
The pixel driving circuit omits a light-emitting control unit, so that the structure of the pixel driving circuit can be simplified, the pixel density is improved, and a circuit for providing a control signal for the light-emitting control unit is omitted.
Fig. 7 is a circuit diagram of a pixel driving circuit according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 7, the pixel driving circuit of the present embodiment is substantially the same as the pixel driving circuit of fig. 1, except that: the sampling transistor T1, the driving transistor T2, the reset transistor T3, the first switching transistor T4, and the second switching transistor T5 are all N-type transistors.
Fig. 8 is a timing diagram corresponding to the driving method of the pixel driving circuit in fig. 7. Referring to fig. 8, the timing diagram of the present embodiment is substantially the same as the timing diagram of fig. 3, except that: the high and low levels of the scan signal voltage and the reset signal in each stage are opposite to those in fig. 3.
